“…The modelling allowed to identify the airflows patterns that are generated and theirs effect on the interior finishes as well as the thermal comfort of the churchgoers. The interior temperature that the heating system generate inside the interior volume has been evaluate as well (Liu J.et al, 2012Napp, 2015.…”

In the paper is presented a heating system installed in church and the interior climate generated. Thermal Comfort is the purpose of each designer, since the design stage and has to be ensure for the churchgoers, but even for the interior finishes. The heating system that uses hydronic radiators is evaluated trough the CFD modelling, in order to evaluate pro and contra arguments. The simulation has been made in a 3d simulation software environment, in Autodesk CFD with good results.

“…These are generated either gradually or abruptly from natural or other stress‐related phenomena and can seriously threaten the cohesion of the constituent parts and the structural integrity of the objects of interest. Characteristic cases include parts of buildings, such old historical churches; one serious damage mechanism affecting the physical condition of the building is related to variations in the indoor and outdoor climate conditions, such as freeze–thaw cycles in wet structures, condensation of water vapours on and inside the structures, corrosion of metals, as well as deformations and cracks caused by the different material compartments due to their variable load‐bearing capacity . The statue Ratto delle Sabine of Giambologna in Florence constitutes an example of artwork, where the different physical properties of the materials, used for the construction of the model, caused the formation of several cracks on the raw clay during the years; active infrared thermography was used for the detection and evaluation of possible interconnections between existing cracks and for analysing the state of weathering of the statue .…”

Cultural heritage conservation is an active field of research, where there is an ever‐growing demand for nondestructive and noninvasive diagnostic techniques, for performing remote analysis and diagnosis of the condition of historical structures and pieces of art, often of very high cultural and historical value. In this context, holographic interferometry is a very well‐established optical technique for research in cultural heritage, which brings together some very basic and critical properties such as contactless examination and nondestructivity, accuracy, repeatability, and a wide range of applicability. In this paper, the optical technique of digital holographic interferometry is tested on mock‐up, art‐related targets, with 2 different light sources, in an attempt to expand the technique towards a new approach that will profit from an easy‐to‐operate, inexpensive, and tunable source, offering a broad spectrum and wavelength selectivity, according to the needs of the experiments. Examples are presented, and the results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed modified experimental scheme for defect mapping, to be used in structural documentation reports, and for its exploitation in future hybrid optical diagnostic systems and data processing.

“…The quality of indoor air affects not only people's organisms, but also buildings, especially their construction. Low thermal resistance of building partitions causes the cooling of the object, which is usually associated with a high content of relative humidity in the air [15][16].…”

The quality of air in sacral buildings is an important factor that affects users. Church buildings are characterized by a specific microclimate, because they accommodate many people in short periods of time, which results in rapid changes in air quality. Sacral buildings usually only have natural ventilation through doors, return air inlets and window leaks, which can cause uneven distribution of fresh air. The aim of this article is to analyze the results of research on the basic parameters of air quality: carbon dioxide, relative humidity and air temperature in the church. The analysis carried out on research results allowed to state that the measured parameters of air quality - the concentration of carbon dioxide and the level of relative humidity significantly exceeded the standards recommendations. High level of air humidity was recorded at 75%. In the analyzed sacral building there is the need to improve air quality in terms of carbon dioxide and relative humidity. Ways of improving air quality, such as installation of mechanical ventilation, will help prevent damage to structures and equipment, and improve comfort of people in the church.
